The Hypertherm HT 2000 is an industrial plasma cutter with a cutting current of 200 A at a 100% duty cycle, liquid cooled. The record states that the machine worked under CNC control until the end and that a machine torch is in the set.
What this machine is for
This is a power source for a cutting table and a CNC gantry, not for hand work. A current of 200 A at a 100% duty cycle means cutting without breaks through the whole shift, that is a production pace when you cut thicker steel to size. You cut everything that conducts current: mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium.
Liquid cooling is a condition of work at such a current. The circuit with a pump takes the heat away from the torch, so the nozzle and the electrode stand up to long cycles and the cut edge keeps a repeatable quality. The machine was wired into the control of a cutting table, so it goes onto a ready station without rebuilding the process.
Features and equipment
- Cutting current of 200 A at a 100% duty cycle. Continuous cutting with no breaks for the source to cool.
- Liquid cooling. The circuit with a pump takes the heat from the torch during continuous cutting.
- Work under CNC control. The machine was wired into a cutting table until the end.
- Machine torch in the set together with the equipment visible in the photos of the record.

What to watch out for
The machine was set up to work with a CNC system, so for hand cutting you need a different torch and different leads. The product record gives a cutting current above 130 A and the source description 200 A, confirm the configuration before you buy. Liquid cooling means a circuit with a pump: you check the coolant level, the flow and the seals before the first arc.
The compressed air must be dry and at a stable pressure, because damp shortens the life of the nozzle. Nozzles and electrodes are consumable, so work out the cost of a spare set. The record gives no supply voltage, no weight and no cutting thickness.
